LABEL PRINTING AND DISPENSING APPARATUS

摘要

A label printer and dispenser web transport system includes a motor driven platen and a print head resiliently directed against the platen between which an ink foil and label web are passed. The web travels over a triangular peeler bar disposed closely adjacent the platen and is then returned to the platen for passage between the platen and a spring biased idler roll deformably engaging the platen to maintain web tension over the peeler bar. The print head is pivotally mounted and is moved out of engagement with the platen when the print head is not printing. The ink foil is not advanced when the print head is moved away from the platen.
